Please contact EzeScan or your reseller to obtain a concurrent license file.
The operator must supply the full server name details ( e.g. SERVER1.ACME.COM) to order a concurrent license for EzeScan. The license file can be named as per your requirements…
if using license pools it is best to give the license file a descriptive name…
for example by business unit Accounts.lic
if just using one license file call it Default.lic
it might also be handy to include the expiry date and seat count.
E.g. "Records_Expire_20191215_seats_06.lic".
The default folder path license files reside in is… install drive\programdata\outback imaging\ezescan authority\LicensePools The License Management tab is where the management of (client PC) Concurrent Licenses are handled.
"Named" Licenses (workstation licensing) are not set up on the License Management tab; they are set up on the "Config Profiles" tab. Please refer to theAdding Named Licenses to the Authority Server sectionon page for details.
